Honeywell Industrial Inertial
Measurement Units
Honeywell produces No License Required (NLR) Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) for industrial
applications including agricultural vehicles, robotics, survey, mapping, and stabilized systems.
These IMUs are designed for industrial application and can be used on air, land, and sea.
Honeywell began producing gyros in the 1940’s for the Honeywell C-1 autopilot and specifically
began producing MEMS gyros and accelerometers in the early 2000’s. Honeywell’s IMUs
utilize proprietary Honeywell technology and leverage existing production and engineering
infrastructure. Honeywell has deep and long lasting relations with many commercial customers
and is carrying that philosophy and product pedigree into our NLR IMU line. Honeywell’s forward
looking product strategies ensure that our NLR IMUs fit your current and future needs.
The HG1120 IMU is a device which measures angular rates, linear accelerations, and magnetic
fields in a body mounted strap down configuration. The IMU provides compensated incremental
angle and velocity data for navigation as well as angular rates and linear accelerations for
control. The data is reported through a digital serial interface bus and is available in a variety
of serial formats. The unit contains MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers as well as the
electronics and software necessary to deliver precision control and navigation information.
The input axes form a right handed frame aligned with the IMU mounting frame.
